Ok seems like those fonts are "Machintosh Latin" encoded! At least this is what 
fontforge tells me. And FontMatrix read it as "APPLE_ROMAN". Is it right those 
fonts won't be rendered in FontMatrix?
For the symbols fonts, they are listed both as APPLE_ROMAN and MS_SYMBOLS (and 
fontforge reads its encoding as "Mac Latin").
